Last year's Mushroom Queen, Nanette Blingkopfer went missing six days after securing the title with her wonderful poem about dietary fiber and was later found dazed and wandering down a street in Yemen. It's believed that this was the work of the notorious Al Qaeda offshoot, Al Bukkake. Homeland Security is very interested in a pair of "Wisconsin tourists" who were seen near her trailer two days before her disappearance. </p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/23/homeland_security_to_boost_funds_to.php#comment-1415664 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/23/homeland_security_to_boost_funds_to.php#comment-1415664 Comments Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:49:18 -0500 <p>So did they stop prioritizing the Ohio mushroom fair over the Empire State Building? That was one of the funniest dumb-government stories post 9/11. Beaten only by the "freedom fries" thing.</p>
